A STRANDED MILLIONAIRE.

Fortune FroWns Upon Him and He is
Left without a Dollar i'm the World.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct. 23.-J. F. Mcknight,
the stranded California millionaire, appeared
before the Mayor to-day, and representing
that he had not dollar in the world begged
a railroad pass to Kansas City. The pass was
given him and he left st. Joseph this after
noon. His ultimate destination is New York
where he says he has relatives who will care
for him this winter. Mcknight was partner
of Millionaire Mackay in California, and for
several years was Mayor of Oakland and one
of the most prominent men on the Pacific
coast. He was personal friend of the elder
Bennett in New York when the latter had his
office on Nassau street, and was Jay Gould's
friend when Gould was brought into promi-
nence by Jim Fisk. He lost his millions a
short time ago, but is cheerful, although he
has not dollar. He says he will return to
California next year and build no another
fortune. His dress was seedy to-day, and as
reporter sat in the passenger coach talking
to him he was eating bun and a slice of
cheese that had cost him five cents. ALL his
personal effects were tied in a big handker-
chief, which lay beside him on the seat. At
ter he had finished his meal he lighted an
old black pipe, and seemed to enjoy it huge
ly. Even in his poverty he retains his pol
ished manners, and is still, in conversation
and department, the same elegant gentleman
he was when he could draw his check for
millions

To BE Given by a Club Which CuIti-
Yates the Beautiful Autumn Flower.
The New Haven Chrysanthemum club
have arranged for an exhibition. Many well
known New Haven ladies are members OF
this club, which has for its main purpose the
cultivation of these beautiful autumn flowers.
There are organizations of this kind through
out the United States and their public exhi-
billions have been patronized by persons OF
refinement and culture.
The New Haven clubs exhibition will
consist of about 200 potted plants. among
which will be many rare and lovely speci-
mems. The club has the promise of over 600
ported plants from its members and nearly
all the gardeners and horticulturists of the
city have agreed to send their best specimens.
The exhibition will be held November 8,
10 and IL, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day. The first day will be devoted to
receiving and arranging the plants, but the
committee are in hope of being able to open
for the public Wednesday evening. The
Lincoln rink will be the place of exhibition.
The club was formed to create pleasant
rivalry among cultivators, and the coming
exhibition will be very delightful. 1t will
serve to bring together people of similar
tastes and who are fond of almost everything
belonging to the floral kingdom. One of the
movers of the affair is Frank o. Monson of
1 ,0S5 Chapel street, and who last year dis
played in front of his residence a choice and
large collection or these flowers.

BRICK MAKERS, CONVENTION.

Return of Graft, Shares, stiles and
Ives From the Chicago Meeting.
Horace P. Shares, Captain Samuel P Craft,
George Ives and Frank Stiles, North Haven
brick manufacturers, returned Saturday from
the second annual convention of the Brick
Manufacturers association of the United
States, which has just closed three days.
session in Chicago. Captain Craft says: ssWe
learned there that the brick made by the Chi
cago manufacturers is one-third larger in size
than that produced here. should think its
dimensions are about inches in length, 35a
inches wide and 2ss inches thick. A resolu-
ton was adopted by the convention recon-
mending a uniform size in brick as nearly as
possible. We talked about the process of
brick manufacture in the East and West, and
the eastern delegates satisfied their meth
DDS are very much more simple than the
western. We are also satisfied that we can
make more merchantable brick from the
nature of our material than the western
manufacturers. The samples we had for in
spection at the convention were proof of this
point"

Now Goes Into Winter Quarters at
Bridgeport.
Barnum's show broke up at Hoboken Sat
urday evening and goes at once into winter
quarters in Bridgeport. Tony Hamilton, the
chief press agent of the show, said yesterday:
"Was the season good one' Well, I should
say SO! You see our business is the same as
real estate. It yields a certain amount of
money every year, an amount we always
figure on and always receive except when we
have a special attraction, as was in the case
of Jumbo. That season our receipts were
enormous, so large that every one of the pro-
prietors were made wealthy in one season.
This year our route was through the eastern
States and Canada, while next season we
shall take in the western States.' The state
ment that Mr.. Barnum had decided to do
away with the time-honored clown was in
correct Mr. Hamilton said. What he is 60
ing to do is to supplant the present singing
and talking clown with the pantomime one.
Instead of having clowns taking up fifteen
minutes with singing or talking act these
pantomime clowns will act in unison with
the regular act going on at the time.

KEY WEST, Fla, Oct. 23,-Privste advices
by the last steamer from Havana announce
the death of Berebin, the second in command
of the united revolutionary forces of the
interior and who led an expedition leaving
here on August 81 last and landing at Bacu-
nayagua near Matanzas. Six days after
landing, being surrounded in the Morejan
mountains near Msdrugs by two thousand
soldiers, they were compelled to cut their
way out. Beriben made charge which was
made in the face of a terrible fire and was
among the first seriously wounded and the
only one of the party fatally SO. Believing
his first wound, which was in the abdomen
and said to have disemboweled him and
laid his intestines bare upon his saddle,
would in few moments prove fatal, and
desiring to sell his life as dearly as possible,
he decided to rally his followers to give COM
bat to unequal forces, numbering as they did
at least eight to one, and while advancing at
the head of his brave followers he met in
single combat and killed a Spanish officer,
late commander of the port of Chirinos, but
only to be struck to the ground a moment
later, killed by a Spanish saber. Over five
hundred shots were exchanged and several
soldiers killed, but other flibuster was
even much seriously wounded. After
Beriben's death his followers retreated fur
Their into the interior where they are now
under command of Manuel Garcia. A large
number of recruits are believed to anticipate
leaving Key West as soon opportunity
offers, but the Spanish msn-of-war have been
for the past six weeks closely guarding the
island and the ram Sanchez from, Havana is
in our harbor tonight.

The Daily News of Philadelphia says of the
"Dominie's Daughter" the beautiful drama
which is to be presented at the New Haven
Opera House on Thursday, Friday and Satur-

least. in this season, an American drama that
is worth something has made its appearance
on Philadelphia boards. The play is The
Dominie's Daughter which was produced at
the Arch Street Theater last night. The
play turns upon the Revolution and is laid in
New York during the British occupation of
that city. Mr.. David d. Lloyd, the play
wright, has approached his subject in spirit
of full appreciation of its worth and magni-
tude, and instead of raking his mind for
startling clap-trap stage devices has con-
structed a simple, direct and necessarily
forceful drama which holds the attention
from rise to fall of curtain Selection of
reserved seats takes place at the box Office
